What really wowed me was how [the Writing Center tutor’s] comments didn’t try to offer suggestions or point out problems. She tried to describe how things affected her as a reader and why—what aspects of the writing and the structure resulted in those effects. This took my literacy narrative and the feedback I’d received on it firmly out of “working on this draft” into “understanding and evolving as a writer” territory. This was a major creative risk, a big undertaking, something that I felt resonated with the core of my writer identity and was a big step toward really having my own writerly voice.
